Re: Fatigue with radiation?
Rads for me were a breeze after chemo and I didn't burn but did get itchy and pink, I used 100% natural aloe vera after each treatment. I know people who have rads in their lunch hour and return to work, I had major fatigue and needed to get home and rest so there's no telling how you'll react until you begin I think. There's usually no risk of infection at all, you just need to be sure not to use any creams or lotions before the treatment, good luck!
